Bulk Rename Utility

About

Bulk Rename Utility is a powerful, proprietary software utility for Windows, offered as 'Free Personal' use, specializing in advanced file and folder renaming. Launched via its website, http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/, it provides a comprehensive set of features including file renaming, batch processing, batch editing, and support for regular expressions, along with being lightweight and portable, even offering a dark mode. Users consistently highlight its extensive functionality, with many considering it the 'best batch file renamer' for its ability to tackle complex renaming tasks, from removing specific symbols to sequential numbering. While some feedback points to a 'messy but fast to use UI' or even finding it 'Fxxking hard to use' initially due to its feature-rich interface, others commend its ease of use once familiar, noting no tutorial is needed for basic operations and the helpful preview window. The utility operates offline and requires no registration. However, the free version (e.g., 3.4.4.0) comes with limitations, such as restricted JavaScript renaming, an annoying banner ad, and potential file count limits (e.g., 1000 files), prompting some users to suggest alternatives like Ant Renamer for specific functionalities like regex. The product has garnered numerous positive reviews for its capability and versatility in handling diverse renaming scenarios.
